[Android] How do I disable search completion for sites that I never visited?

I want to disable offline auto-completion for facebook.com, bbc.com and other 'popular' sites on android.

I found the lists of domains were added with this commit https://github.com/mozilla-mobile/firefox-android/commit/65fdbf4696a but I cannot find a suitable about:config option to disable this feature.

I had this issue with sponsored websites. It took me a while to figure it out, but this resolved it for me:

When you just disable showing sponsors, Firefox will still autocomplete them.

  • You have to let FF show those sponsors on the homescreen.
  • Then remove them one by one from the homescreen.
  • After all are removed, you can again disable the sponsors in the settings.

If this guide is too vague, I can be more explicit.

Firefox on desktop does not have this; also its not related to search engines, these lists of domains are embedded into firefox.
